If it’s one thing I’m so damn proud of about our rescue, it’s that we don’t leave family behind.

So while we planned to break free the black hound with the broken leg today, when we found out she had two family members from the same home and when we couldn’t find another rescue to help us, we refused to leave them behind.

So without further ado, help us welcome not one, not two, but THREE new lives into our rescue today. Luna, Lainey, and Leo. They had until today at 5pm to make it out, and we did it - thanks to those who offered to foster and an incredible volunteer for driving to get them.

We are still searching for a foster for the smaller hound named Lainey. For now, she will stay in our bridge building.

This building is doing incredible things for us. These three lives are saved today because of it. They have been fed and are sleeping in clean crates, and tomorrow, we will send two of them off to foster homes and work to find a foster for the third.

We will need to raise donations for their care, especially considering we took in two additional dogs we weren’t planning for. It’s not too late for a $5 Friday, (maybe we will call it a $5 weekend
), no amount is too small!

Donations can be made in the following ways:

Can you imagine fracturing your leg and never receiving medical care? Then walking around for months and months in pain while your body tries to heal. To then being picked up by a stranger and taken to a loud building and being placed behind a concrete and chain link barrier, locked away 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

That’s the story of this dog here. We met her on our shelter tour last week and we just got word that her “owner” doesn’t want her back. We also were told she has until Friday to be rescued or she will be euthanized.

Yesterday we posted about how fostering saves lives, because when you foster a dog, you’re also making room for a dog that will take their place. We want to save this dog, but we also need fosters for the two remaining puppies in our bridge building.

If you’ve been on the fence about fostering, it’s not too late to step up and help us. By fostering one of the puppies posted yesterday, you are helping us safe this life.

We have less than 48 hours.

Let’s talk about a tough subject. When we are saving dogs, why are we selective on breeds?

Meet Billie & Willie. These two boys sat in a really bad shelter for weeks and were on the brink of being euthanized every single day. Yes, even puppies. We have shared time and time again the dogs that get euthanized at this shelter. We’ve screamed from the rooftops about how fostering saves lives.

Almost three weeks ago now, we went out to that shelter. There were so many puppies, but we took the ones we thought no other rescue would take. And do you know what the shelter staff said when we decided to take these two boys?

“You want those pittie puppies?” She was shocked.

And that’s exactly why we wanted them. Two timid pittie puppies in a shelter like that should’ve been a death sentence. Want to know something even more sad?

There was a litter of 10 poodle mix puppies that rescues were fighting over.

THEY ALL DESERVE TO LIVE. WHY ARE WE FIGHTING OVER PUPPIES WHEN THERE IS NOT A LIMITED SUPPLY.

The sad reality is that many rescues will pull the “easier” dogs because it’s the public that makes it that way. Adopters - and even fosters - raise their hand more for the trendier/cuter dogs.

While we felt so good about saving these two boys, they’ve been sitting in our bridge building for three weeks with absolutely zero foster interest. Are they safe? Of course. But it is still so unfair that once again there is no one raising their hand for them.

It’s hard not to wonder if they looked different, that wouldn’t be the case. And we’ve seen it first hand over and over again.

If you’re interested in making a real difference in their lives, please consider fostering one of these boys. They deserve it just as much as all of the other dogs they’ve watched come and go. All supplies are provided. Billie is currently in a temp foster, Willie is still in our bridge building.

Meet Mimi! This gorgeous pittie mix gal was found as a stray in rough shape after living on her own. BBAR pulled her from the Colleton County Animal Shelter in February, and she’s absolutely transformed since then! Mimi is about 3 years old and an awesome mix of sweet, chill, and fun. She’s a lover who is happiest when touching you at all times. She walks well on a leash, is fully potty trained, and is happy to hang in her crate while you’re not home. She LOVES other dogs and is great with kids. Mimi would be an amazing pet for a family and/or someone with another dog for her to play with. She’d love a yard or outdoor space where she can sunbathe 😎 Mimi is a total sweetheart who’s looking for her forever home - apply to adopt her today if you think she’d be a good fit for yours!

We did a roll call over on Instagram stories yesterday (Facebook doesn’t let us post more than one video at a time 🙄) but we have quite a few dogs AND a new kitty over at Bridge Between headquarters! We could really use some additional supplies for this crew! Wishlist linked below 👇

Pictured here is Georgia, a new foster kitten who will be adoptable soon! She was the last of her litter at the shelter and is about 6 months old.

Next up is Kai, a dog we pulled a couple weeks back from a rough shelter. He is one of the lucky ones
 he is finishing up quarantine before he gets to go into a real foster experience!

I am completely and utterly shocked that Caya hasn’t had a line of people wanting to foster her! This beautiful puppy is about 5 months old and a BABY DOLL. She loves to melt into your arms. She is relatively calm for a puppy. She keeps her crate clean. She loves to play with other dogs and loves toys. She rarely barks. I don’t get it!!

She DOES have a fractured limb and I know that that hinders her foster experience - and potentially pushes her adoption back some time - but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t deserve a safe place to land while we navigate this injury and how to recover.

Caya had her consultation with the best surgeon we know and he wants to wait one month before we make any big decisions. So for the next 30 days, she gets to be a normal puppy. This includes playing, walking, sunbathing, and snoozing (all of her favorite things). In 30 days, we will have a better idea of her surgical needs. With her growing, it’s hard to make a decision and perform a surgery we cannot undo. The good news is her leg doesn’t appear to cause her any pain. She is living her life as normally as she knows.

If you’re interested in fostering Caya - no matter what that looks like - please inquire! She is currently in our quarantine building still which means she is basically in boarding until a foster is found. And she would love to have a real home experience!!!

If you’re an approved foster please reach out. New fosters can inquire through our website or email [email protected]

(We have other puppies needing fosters as well)!

Our next adoptable dog of the week is Rick! Aka “thick Rick”, who has been waiting his whole life to be chosen. He spent majority of his puppy hood in the shelter, and then landed a freedom ride thanks to a foster. This big goofball is looking for a forever play mate and couch buddy. He could be your new best friend.

Apply to adopt Rick on our website!

We are so sad to report that whatever illness Conrad had, which developed into pneumonia, is now affecting every single dog that came from the same shelter. Our sweet Gilroy also had to be taken to the emergency vet last night. He had recently been fine, and we had hoped he was in the clear, but the sniffles started yesterday morning, and by 7 p.m. he was extremely lethargic and struggling to breathe. We knew we couldn’t wait until the weekend was over to get him treated. We are so thankful for his foster family, who recognized he needed urgent care.

Thankfully, the amazing team at took us in once again.

Gilroy was given fluids and antibiotics and was able to go home. One by one, we will be taking every other dog to the vet this week for exams and proactive treatment in hopes that they don’t become as sick.

We are going to be spending a lot of unexpected medical costs, so if you’d like to help us help these new puppies, no donation amount is too small.

Conrad is home đŸ€

After spending a day admitted into the emergency clinic receiving fluids and medication, he was able to go home through the night. He woke up feeling better and even ate his breakfast! We took him back to the urgent vet again to determine if he needed another day of admition, but he had improved enough to be sent back home 🎉

Thank you so much to everyone who donated to Conrad’s emergency! This was an unexpected $1300 expense, but we will always do what’s best for our babies. The rest of the dogs that came from this shelter are also experiencing symptoms, but thankfully seem to be recovering with supplemental and will continue to be closely monitored.

If you want to help us cover the total of this expense, you can still do so by donating in the following ways:

Total raised: $722
Total needed: $1300

Update: Conrad has been hospitalized so that he can receive continuous fluids 💔

We were planning to hold off on a $5 Friday today, but one of our newest rescues needs your help. Sweet Conrad is at the vet after spiking a dangerously high fever and showing signs of pneumonia. He’s undergoing bloodwork, radiographs, and receiving strong medications to help him fight this illness.

Conrad is one of the 10 dogs we saved just 10 days ago from a high-kill shelter. Some of the other pups are also showing early signs of an upper respiratory infection, but thankfully none are as sick as Conrad.

We’re moving quickly and aggressively with treatment for him and being proactive with the others. In rescue, we always say to expect the unexpected—and while we raised money for their initial care, this emergency has created an unplanned financial strain.

If you’re able, please help us cover Conrad’s vet visit and any additional care needed for the other nine pups. And above all, send love and prayers for this sweet boy as he fights to get better. Thank you so much for always showing up for them. 🙏
